To recap: The dictionary says there are two types of dystopian society, i.e. one in which there is great suffering or injustice:

1) Totalitarian - With a system of government that is centralized and dictatorial and requires complete subservience to the state.

2) Apocalyptic - In which an event involving destruction or damage on an awesome or catastrophic scale has taken place.

If you thought last week’s episode was bleak, brace yourself for something truly, downright awful this week.

And thus draws to a shuddering close, the somewhat chaotic year 2022. Looking out on the new year to come, to quote John & Yoko: “Let’s hope it’s a good one, without any fear.”

The jury’s out on which we’d prefer to live in, but suffice it to say that both types enflame the imaginations of film-makers on a regular basis. And so, in this penultimate episode of 2022, we crack open a tall, frosty can of utter despair, abject misery, and really bad vibes as we haul ass up the mighty River Dystopia without so much as a used Canadian Tire paddle and what remains of our wits to guide us. (Sorry, got carried away there.)

BONUS: Dave reaches out to results-driven folks everywhere by sharing his suggestion for a New Year's resolution going forward. Don't push back, double down, or hop on a call until you've tried it.

All that gifting aside, we wish our listeners none of the above, but rather oodles of peace, love, health, and harmony this holiday season. Part Two'll be a-waitin' on the other side…
